Homemade Spiced Apple Cider (Hot or Cold!) Recipe | Samsung Food App

Ingredients

• 3 lbs apples (my favorite for this are Red Delicious) (core and seeds removed, roughly chopped)
• 1 large orange (cut into large slices (optional to remove peel, peel will give a slightly bitter flavor))
• 1 whole star anise
• 2 whole cinnamon sticks ((or 1.5 tsp ground))
• 1 tsp whole cloves ((or 3/4 tsp ground))
• 1 tsp whole allspice ((or 1.5 tsp ground))
• 1 whole nutmeg ((or 2.5 tsp ground))
• 12-16 cups water ((12 for stronger apple flavor, 16 for a slightly more diluted flavor))
• 1/2 cup pure maple syrup ((or more or less to taste))
